This summer time I spent quite a lot of time tenting. I reside in AZ, so one of the best place to get out of the warmth is within the Flagstaff space, often known as the Mogollon Rim. My purpose when discovering a tenting spot is to get distant from anybody. I carry all the things I want, water, rest room, and so forth. so I can actually simply get pleasure from nature with out sounds of ATVs or different campers bothering me. I’ve a lifted SUV so I can go the place most individuals will not and it helps to get the right spot.

We picked a forest highway close to Ashurst Lake, and drove over a rocky highway for about an hour till we discovered a great place by a dried up lake mattress. It was tucked within the timber off the highway. Lovely spot. It had a well-worn recreation path that went by means of it and throughout the dry lake mattress. We noticed a couple of wolves on the day we arrived, and a few deer or elk, however the wildlife appeared to keep away from us after they noticed people had been of their territory.

Throughout the day I walked round amassing bones, I discovered fairly a couple of from deer / elk. I used to be bored and feeling a bit morbid so I made a windchime out of the bones and hung it up outdoors of my tent like a creepy artwork challenge.

I used to be laying within the tent that night time, my canine and SO had been asleep already, and I discovered myself awake for some cause. Unsure if I had hassle sleeping or I heard a noise and wakened. However I positively heard one thing now.

There was no background noise, no owls, no crickets, nothing, apart from the factor that was in my camp. It was SLOW, heavy steps within the tall grass proper by means of our camp web site. It was so gradual, like one step each couple seconds, it needed to be bipedal. No shuffling, simply CRUNCH… CRUNCH… CRUNCH. We had been miles from anybody, we solely noticed a couple of cross nation ATV’s the entire journey, they usually went again the best way they got here. Nobody else was on the market, then all of the sudden we’ve this bipedal creature strolling by means of our campsite?

I had a pistol on the bottom subsequent to me however I dared not even transfer. I did not need to get up my SO. I simply laid there and waited, barely eager to breathe, simply seeing what would come subsequent.

It walked proper by our tent, stored strolling with it is gradual tempo, the noise fading slowly because it wandered deeper into the woods.

The following day I instructed my SO and she or he wasn’t pleased. On the time I assumed it was a skinwalker, one thing alongside these strains. A magic humanoid who got here to have a look. As we speak I realized concerning the Mogollon Monster, which is basically a Sasquatch who lives within the wilderness round Flagstaff. Did I’ve a run in with the well-known Mogollon Monster? BTY

NOTE: I am unsure what this witness skilled, however it’s an space that has had quite a lot of unusual exercise over the centuries. Here’s a earlier put up – Trying to find the Mogollon Monster. Lon
